If you ignore half of what I say, I can only assume your points.
True. But if your argument for buying this thing is that it turns on faster than a phone, id say that's a stupid reason to spend money. Especially when most people keep theirs on 99% of the time they own it.
I actually addressed your point earlier, you should read what I write rather than skimming it, I said that both a phone and a controller have better battery life than this thing (which only has 2 to 7 hours of battery in one charge). Carrying a charger or a battery pack is a cheaper and a lot more practical.
What is the point of buying a device with the functionality of a modern phone if you don't want to use it? it's such an easy problem to solve and instead you turn to buying/carrying superfluous devices. If you just wanted a phone with incredible battery life and no functionality, buy a 3310... It's cheaper too.
I asked why people are buying these things when your phone can do it all and more for free, and so far your answers are pretty dumb. It's a fair question and reasons such as, 'I like keeping my phone off instead of using it, despite the fact that my phone can out perform this device in everyway'; is such a bad argument. You are worried about it running out when you're travelling so you turn it off; that will ensure you won't miss any emergency calls or messages!
Oh, so I am agitated now, don't project your feelings onto me, you're upset because I am making good points. Personally I couldn't give a shit about these things, but calling you an idiot for buying one is very entertaining.
